When did you go into labour with second and how did this compare with your first? If one is late, is the second usually late?

First baby 4 weeks prem, waters went at 33 weeks. 3 hour labour

Baby 2 due date (eat two pineapples) lost plug waters burst 10 minutes later 45 minutes later he was born,

Third baby came 40+1 waters burst he was born 9 minutes later (I personally think he was very over due but according to there dating thing he wasn't)

I think your body gives you more signs with the second/3rd I nested I had a continually routines which I had to stick too 48 hours before I had both (even sat organising a barbie house at 1am the night before ) haha

Good luck doll xx

DD1 - spontaneous labour at 40+5. 5 (miserable) days later she still hadn't arrived so MW broke my waters and she was born 8 hours later at 41+3.

DD2 - waters spontaneously broke at 39+1 and she arrived 12 hours later. Actual labour was only 2 hours though.

Talk about two contrasting births!

DS1 - spontaneous labour, born at 41+1

DS2 - induced for reduced movements, induction started at 38+0 and he was born at 38+3.

1st was 40+6 and laboured all day at home. Active Labour was about 4 hours and 3 pushes!

2nd was 40+11 and 8 hours from 1st contraction to holding him! This one was in the pool!

DD1 - 12 days late spontaneous labour 27 hours total

DD2 - 5 days late spontaneous labour 12 hours total

Both direct OP (back to back) but DD2 turned on the way out - the difference being 3 hours of pushing first time as opposed to half an hour from 6cm dilated to delivery!

DD1 induced at 41+6, natural birth
DD2 spontaneous labour 38+3, EMCS
